4 Wins in 2006

I have relocated to Springfield, VA.


I am a former Freelance Photojournalist (1972-1984 {yeah I'm THAT old}) from the Philadelphia area now doing Event, Art, Fashion, & Documentary photography. My style utilizes my photojournalistic background and ability to 'capture the moment'.

I am available for portfolio, portrait, and retouching/finishing work also at very reasonable rates and my work is guaranteed.
